Woman loses control, slams car into house in Folsom

A Folsom family's decision to go out to dinner saved their lives as a speeding car ran a stop sign and slammed into their home.

The teenage driver was driving at least 80 miles an hour on Oak Avenue around 6 p.m. Friday.

Witnesses say that is when she ran a stop sign, lost control of the 1998 Mercedes-Benz, and slammed into the house at high speed. The vehicle went through the living room area and ended up in parts of the kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom.

"It looked like a movie, like a drifting movie," said witness Mac Schmitz.

The female driver of the vehicle was taken to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. A witness who helped get her out of the car said she was bloody and bruised.

Her uncle came to check out the scene and claimed her accelerator got stuck.
